Reply to Nichigon-ama

(Monthly Gosho Passage March 2008)

Whether or not your prayer is answered depends upon your faith; [if it is not,] the fault in no way lies with me, Nichiren. When the water is clear, the moon will be reflected in it.  When the wind blows, the trees sway. One's mind is like the water. Faith that is weak is like muddy water, but faith that is resolute is like clear water.
